Overview
- Jemma Marshall and Jason Wadsworth, both 37, were found guilty of manslaughter and cleared of murder after a month-long trial at Manchester Crown Court.
- Prosecutors said Marshall operated as a loan shark exploiting vulnerable drug users while Wadsworth acted as her enforcer.
- Shaw was forced into a car in Oldham on September 10, 2023, suffered broken ribs and a ruptured spleen with massive internal bleeding, and died in hospital on November 4.
- Marshall testified that she concealed a crack addiction and denied taking part in the in-car assault, while Wadsworth told police Shaw "owes me £500" and admitted striking him.
- Greater Manchester Police labeled the violence "truly vile," and the court set December 22 for sentencing.
